Creepy and cowardly

In Thursday's mail I received a large envelope which contained some allegedly sensitive information about someone who posts frequently on this website.

What makes me laugh about it is that the coward who sent it to me did not include a return address, used an old zip code of mine (yet it still got to me), and had a black line from a magic marker placed through the postage stamps resulting in the stamps not being postmarked. All done to disguise who the person is. I just love the…

Is this BB King autographed 8x10 authentic? Seller says "PROOF" but doesn't actually show any except saying the date he claims it was signed.

Seems like a good story but he also claims to have "proof" but doesn't show any proof pictures... The Buy it Now price seemed kind of…

Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Cy Young, Joe DiMaggio, Tony Lazzeri Autographed Baseball Ebay Seller PJGATZKE Drew Max AAU Pawn Stars Forgeries

When I first noticed these on Ebay, I was shocked that anyone would buy this garbage. 

The below items are listed by Ebay seller pjgatzke. 

Ebay seller pjgatzke already sold the Ty Cobb and Cy Young autographs.   The Ty Cobb sold for $405.00 and the Cy Young sold for $300.00.   These are horrific forgeries.   Both were purchased by the same buyer.  Does the buyer of those Ty Cobb and Cy Young forgeries really believe he purchased authentic autographs of Ty Cobb…
